romney has to have it as part of his coalition. >> he was in wisconsin, just after his first debate appearance. how much enthusiasm is there among the students and among college campuses across ohio? >> he had a large turnout, expecting tomorrow's rally. we saw that in madison, wisconsin. in all reality, the enthusiasm level for the president among younger voters, while they still prefer him, he hasn't picked up young people support, that excitement level is down from where it was four years ago. the obama campaign is worried about it. a major part of that coalition was college campuses like ohio state. they have to get a shot of energy and that is why we see them in ohio. >> you are a native of california. you are singing -- seeing california is not in the mix except the president there raising money. what is it like for you? >> is great to be in a state where you see presidential candidates campaigning. because of the electoral college system, most of the country nowadays, a small number of states that gets virtually all the attention. we are either the beneficiaries or the victims of that d

developments on the ground may be the entering wedge for what i personally regard as an overdue public debate about what the united states ought to be doing vis-a-vis the syrian conflict. >> bill, thank you so much. um, let me now turn to hisham, and bill talked about the apparent polarization of u.s. public opinion on foreign policy issues. perhaps not surprising four weeks out from a campaign in which foreign policy has suddenly and surprisingly begun to play a significant role in both the campaigns. but what we see in the arab world is with the emergence of more democratic politics, polarization as well. around a number of issues that relate to the relationship, the interaction between these arab states in transition and the united states and the west more broadly. the poll result that americans seem to understand this is about islamists struggling for power is suggestive, perhaps good media reporting, but perhaps of a creeping sense that the future of the arab world looks like an argument amongst islamists. and, indeed, i think that many commentators, yourself included, in the wake of the

both campaigns, the romney campaign is particularly in the last few days has said that during the debates they're going to fact check live which sometimes can mean just saying something isn't true when it is true or saying something is true when it isn't true. and i think that because the speed has really increased, there's a lot more for reporters to do. um, there's also the issue i mentioned about money and spending and keeping an eye on that. i think there's some great work that's being done in tracking spending and donors and figuring it out. but there's also a lot more money on the table because of citizens united. so that's a real challenge. and in some ways to bring the optimism and pessimism together about this, i think that this might be the election cycle where both sides -- it's become clear what the tools are for both sides. there's money, there's media access, there's social media, there's ways to quickly get information out and really ask questions. and the last few weeks before people actually vote, we're going to see how well each side uses those tools. although i don't kn

what i'm more, i am less interested in exactly what is said in the debates the next four years when whoever wins says in the week or two after the election. to me, that's the time to step up and do the broader leadership and be tougher. >> what would you like to hear president obama say, either before or after the election? talk about romney, what about obama? too if your view as mine is that we're not going to have a deal that doesn't have both revenues and spending and the biggest obstacle is on the revenue side and that, as i do believe and i have asked a lot of democratic senators if my perception is correct and they say yes, and that is, that republicans continue to believe that at the end of the day in the 11th hour democrats will relent again as they did in 2011 and at the end of 2010. frankly one of the things the president has to do is to make it crystal clear that he is damn serious and he is not going to accept a deal that doesn't have both revenues and spending. let's just lay that out there. and i think that when that becomes accepted, that is my fear of why we go into january.

i think mitt romney was desperate. >> host: we will have the candidates debate foreign policy specifically in the coming weeks. do you reflect on the earlier part of what he was saying? >> guest: clearly more a common set of questions, but i think romney did make a trip to europe to israel. he went to london, where he criticized the olympics games. he went to poland. he went to israel. democrats have tried to emphasize what they see as romney's penchant for gas. clearly he's not entirely comfortable with the subject of foreign policy enhancing the time to be somewhat undiplomatic into international affairs. at the same time come udc is somewhat inconsistent critique as my colleague pointed out on the website yesterday when it comes to romney and what the democrats are saying about him. on the one hand, they called him of flip-flopping when it comes to his foreign policy. on the other hand, he says there's no real difference between him on the account and yet they're also the coming of the bush administration and obama sure in there. so i think you have a little bit of angry possible critiq
